Besties - Img734...

So October is here! Hopefully this will be the month that we can get back out our coats and boots! Recently it has been really warm which of course is nice but honestly I miss the cooler evenings, autumn is my favourite season of the year! 

Anyway with a new month starting means a new challenge is also starting over on The UK Besties blog, this months theme is Halloween. 

I used the Besties Img734 which of course I coloured with my Copic pens and I was super brave and coloured black I used the C family along with 100 and i'm really happy with the result and it wasn't actually as hard as I thought it would be. 

The back ground paper and the sentiment are both Doodlebug which I had left over from last year! The Black spiders web you can slightly see is from Stampin Up which again is left over from last year!

I cant wait to see what you create for the challenge!

Besties - img006 fluffy frannie...

Happy September! I can't believe we are 3/4 through 2016 already!! Where has the year gone?

Today I have another Besties card to share with you she is called Fluffy Frannie. As always I coloured her in with my Copic pens.

The theme for the challenge this month is Fall. Which made me instantly think of being all cozy with a cup of hot coffee so when I saw this image, I knew she was perfect!!

The 'For You' is a new die from lawn fawn which I have cut out in green then layered another white one on top as well.

The tag is just a random 'craft' coulored one I had in my collection which I used the Tim Holtz distress inks for around the edge of to give it a bit of texture.

I can't wait to see what all you guys make for this challenge!!

#thedailymarker30day - Day 30...

We made it!! Today is Day 30!!

I will certainly miss colouring something everyday but now some house work might be able to get done, or even I might stop spending quite so much as unfortunately I won't be seeing all the lovely things that you guys are all colouring.

Here is my last card...

I used the stamp set and coordinating dies called 'So Jelly' from lawn fawn which of course I coulored in with my copic pens.

I then matched them and distress inked the blue and the yellow backgrounds.

The little fish that you see are from Avery Elle, from a set called 'Swim Team'.

Then finally I finished it off by scattering a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

I wish I could of had the time to coulor and make the image into a card everyday the last 30 days but I honestly enjoyed playing along so much! And I definitely will be joining in next year!! Thank you Kathy Rac!

Did you manage to keep up?

Jobie's Birthday...

Last saturday was my uncle jobie's birthday, this is the card I made for him...

Its a very simple card I made but I think it turned out quite effective and it was a great way to use up scraps! Here I used some of the paper I have left over from Mays's Kreative Kit.

We all went out for dinner to celebrate, we tried 'Smokey's' in Brighton, it was amazing! If you have never been there I really suggest you try it, if you love american style food. Don't judge it on the outside give it a chance and wow your be amazed. The potion size is huge and it all tastes great! They even have sweet potato fries which are my favorite. 

Have you ever been? what did you think?

Happy Father's Day!

Just a quick post to Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there!

This is the card I made for dad...

Some of you may know he is a 'gamer' he loves to come home from a long day at work and be able to relax and play his PS4, So when I saw this silhouette cut file, I knew it would be perfect for him. 

I really like the way it turned out in the end, it did take a lot of patience to make it work and to keep all the layers to line up perfectly. 

Have you ever attempted to make a card like this?
